There are 22 states that have adopted Right to work legislation.Is it about giving workers the liberty and freedom to work without being forced into an undesired association or union? Is it a blatant attack against the middle class and worker's rights as some claim? Is it just a political strategy to defund the other side or is it simply a matter of giving people more choices?

Are Right-to-work promoters trying to bust up the unions, destroy the middle class and hurt workers? Should workers really be forced to join a union in some places just to be able to WORK?

Like it or not, right-to-work is catching on and gaining more and more national attention. Let me know what you think.

Is Right-to-Work: Protecting workers or UNION-Busting??!!

    Jobs will be created where the least problems are presented to the job creators.

    If unions are so great, why has most of Boeing's jobs left the Seattle area?
    If unions are so great, why does Detroit look like a ghost town?

    Still upset that White Supremacist and Homophobe Ron Paul got his ass handed to him ? Don't worry, the same thing is going to happen to your 1st Runner-Up Magic Underpants Romney in November. lol

    I did thoroughly enjoy watching Ron Paul go down in flames. Even his own Son bailed on him and jumped on the Romney bandwagon. Liberarians are a joke ! lol

    How can we have anything else in this country except right to work? It is the only way to protect individual liberty. How we can allow the government to side with one group of workers to the detrament of others is beyond me.

    Te latest polls show that as many as 35% of ALL Union Members are going to vote for Romney.. When one considers that the Unions represent only about 11 to 12% of America's Work Force and HALF of them are backing Romney,, It simply doesn't look good for the Unions..

    I actually believe that BUSTING Unions IS protecting the American Worker.. Not the FIRST time in history that the Savior became the villian when POWER was accumulated..

    It's how COMMUNISM got started..

    I am a free individual and the companies doing the hiring are owned by free individuals! Companies should be free to hire whomever they choose and workers like me should be able to decide for ourselves if we want to pay a union to represent us. It is that simple!

    It is a s simple as it sounds.
    The "right" to work without being forced to join a Union.
    Being forced to do or join anything is without question denying a person a right to choose.
    The irony is that the left demands that a woman retain the right to "choose" in regards to her pregnant body but, they wish to deny both genders the very "right to choose" what they do with their working body.
    Hypocricy and double standards times ten is the norm for the left.

    All I know is that all my major clients are all working under a CBA, and have been for decades, and they are all making Billions of dollars in profit every year, despite all of their bitching and crying every time we come to the negotiating table. I just wish all of these anti-union people could sit across from the company reps at the negotiating table as I do. They would quickly see how much concern the corporations have for them, their families, and the American middle-class.

    You need to come and live on planet Earth.

    There is definitely a far right wing, and they go by the name of the "tea party", which is a misnomer, because they are spineless, and don't really have the guts to form a political party of their own. Despite all their talk of being "independent", they are just a bunch of middle aged Republicans wearing silly costumes. They were fools to think that the old guard of the GOP was going to let them take over, and the fact that Romney came out the nominee is proof.

    The Liberal media shills for Obama EXACTLY the same way as the right wing media shilled for Bush. They are one and the same, and if you think you get the truth from any of them, you are seriously naive.

    Oh yeah, like there wasn't a problem with illegal immigration before 2009? I am totally against what Obama did, and I am totally against allowing illegals to stay here for any reason. If you want to bitch about giving illegals a free ride, look no further than your God Ronald Reagan, aka "Mr. Amnesty". Republicans have been paying lip service to the idea of ending illegal immigration for decades, but they have never done a damn thing about it, because it supplies a cheap source of labor for their Corporate donors.

    There is a fanatical right wing, with a fanatical agenda, and you are living proof, and there is nothing racial about it.

    Where did I mention ANYTHING about race? I challenge you to show any where that I made a racist remark. I already know you will try to talk around it like a true coward, because you can't find anything I said to be racist. Calling someone a racist is an ugly thing, and if you can't back it up, you need to grow up and stop just throwing it out there because you're having a temper tantrum.

    How is pointing out that Reagan gave amnesty to illegals in 1986 racist? Maybe if you stopped your ridiculous, childish ranting, and did some actual research, you would realize what a stupid remark that was

    Heroes are people who sacrifice their lives for others. The "tea party" doesn't even come close to that description. They are NOT heroes and they are NOT more "patriotic" than anyone else.

    Nonsense! While there are Veterans among them, most of the "tea party" people are NOT Veterans, so don't even try handing me that BS!

    All this anti-Muslim crap you keep spewing stems from the fact that you are a religious fanatic, so it's irrelevant. It wasn't long ago that women had no rights here.

    All religious fanatics are whack jobs, regardless of what faith they practice. Religious fanatics are the most dangerous people on the planet, and history bears this out. They all have blood on their hands. You're no better than any Muslim religious fanatic. You think your beliefs are superior to everyone else's, and you simply hate anyone who doesn't believe as you do. It's a joke!

    The military DOESN'T make up the majority of the "tea party" people, so WRONG AGAIN. The majority of the people who call themselves "tea party" people are NOT Veterans. The overwhelming majority of "tea party" people are just middle aged Republicans who never served a day in their lives, and that probably includes you as well.

    There are Muslim terrorists, and there Christian terrorists who blow up abortion clinics and murder abortion doctors, and let's not forget the KKK. There are Hindu terrorists, there are Buddhist terrorists, and you can find terrorists from just about any major religious group.
